I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Always Awake

Chester stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the traffic below.
Ingford was even more prosperous and glorious under the lights.
Yet his eyes were not half as warm at the moment.
Especially listening to the 'beep' sound coming from the phone, he felt upset.
He never had there been such a feeling, as Alina goes back to Shirling, they were completely in two worlds.
As it was then, after they parted ways, it was as if the two stepped on their own track, completely unrelated to each other.
It was clear what kind of hurt and pain Chester was now suffering inside.
...
Before Caleb went into the operating room, Chester came, and when Vanessa saw him alone, she was basically sure that the information she had received was true.
Alina has really left Ingford.
"What are you doing here?" Because of Alina, Vanessa looked unhappy.
And at this juncture, Chester did not want to argue with Vanessa over anything, and his face was stern as he looked towards Caleb who was already ready.
He stepped forward, "How do you feel?"
"Very well, many thanks." At this moment, Caleb's tone was all calm, and Chester nodded, "It is the best surgeon in Anla Mountain, don't worry."
"Okay."
Vanessa was so embarrassed to see Chester ignoring her at this moment.
Julia would have comforted her before, but now all her attention was on Caleb and she went up to instruct him.
Therefore that anger in Vanessa's heart was stronger.
Caleb was wheeled into the operating theatre.
Chester, Vanessa and Julia were all waiting in the corridor outside the operating theatre, Alby and Tristan surprisingly did not come.
Over the years, the two rarely returned from abroad, yet this time it was surprising that they weren't there for such a big event.
The anger in Vanessa's heart surged up as a result.
She opened her mouth, "Caleb and Alina are together, if he gets better, you should go back to Eglinton."
The implication was that Chester should not come back to Ingford.
As in those days, after going to Eglinton, he rarely returned.
There is always that one kind of family member who finds you an eyesore when you are around her. But once you're gone, she will miss you. Anyway just getting along and having big problems.
And Vanessa is probably like that, once Caleb was the closest person to her and the one who had the hardest time in the Collins family.
Julia pulled at Vanessa's sleeve and said, "Mom, what are you saying this for at this time?"
"Back then, don't you have any idea in your heart why I parted with her?" Chester looked at her with his cigarette in his fingers.
His graceful face in the smoke and mist gives a warmthless feeling.
Vanessa frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Without waiting for Vanessa to figure it out, Chester sneered.
And such a sneer stimulated Vanessa's nerves even more.
Julia, "Now that Caleb is still in surgery, talk less."
And Chester didn't want to say anything, but he was angry with Vanessa.
Now because of Chester's words, Vanessa's heart was clouded with an uncertainty that made her panic herself.
She always felt that he had known something.
...
Andre had a talk with Alina, although she was now acting breezy.
But Andre knows, after coming back from facing that kind of hurt, she was bracing her spirit and pretending that nothing mattered.
But from her attitude towards Caleb, is she really as indifferent as she appears to be?
Andre, "What are your plans next?"
Alina, "Going to Eglinton soon."
He was asking about the long term plan, he couldn't believe that Alina didn't understand.
But it was clear that she didn't really want to face the matter right now.
Without waiting for Andre and Alina to say anything else, the butler came in, "Master Andre."
"What is it?"
"Miss Nellie James is here."
And as Andre's face instantly turned gloomy at this moment when he heard this name, Alina watched his reaction.
She said, "If you can't let her go in your heart, don't be so proud."
There has been someone living in Andre's heart all these years, and the whole Lawson family knows that that person is Nellie James.
But ever since Nellie came back, they couldn't understand his attitude. Is this like the attitude towards the beloved?
"You don't know anything, don't talk nonsense." Andre's tone turned colder.
Alina froze for a moment.
She originally wanted to persuade him, but stopped by his attitude.
Andre gave her a deep look and got up, however, just after taking two steps, he was stoped by Alina, "Check it out."
Andre turned back and looked at Alina with eyes that were deeper at this moment.
Alina knew that Macy, and the matter of meeting Frederick back then, had presented clues of involvement related to Vanessa.
Even as much as she didn't want to face it, it was clear that there was more going on behind the scenes.
She was already the only one left in the Hughes family.
She did not want to leave things unclear back then, and since Emma's death was not the end of the line, she must know where that end point really was.
Andre's eyes were deep and sharp. Finally, he nodded at Alina's firm eyes.
"I'm glad you're sober, Alina."
Not waiting for Alina to say anything, Andre turned around and went out.
Many women have lost in love. When faced with such an onslaught, they could not accept it.
And although Andre saw Alina at her most vulnerable, he saw her most sober.
Very good.
...
Although Chester had told Andre something about what happened back then, Andre didn't believe it at all.
He would investigate all the things.
